YEARS of "oversight"
Don't think so.
More like normal, underhanded behavior for the clintons.
They attempt many things and won't change them UNTIL they're CAUGHT.
But to believe the voters are so stupid that they'll believe that it was JUST an 'oversight'.....FIVE different years....
NO WAY.
Glad someone caught them up to their unethical actions once again.

Clintons' Charity Not Listed On Senate Disclosure Forms
By John Solomon and Matthew Mosk
Washington Post Staff Writers Tuesday, February 27, 2007; Page A01
Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton and former president Bill Clinton have operated a family charity since 2001, but she failed to list it on annual Senate financial disclosure reports on five occasions.
The Ethics in Government Act requires members of Congress to disclose positions they hold with any outside entity, including nonprofit foundations. Hillary Clinton has served her family foundation as treasurer and secretary since it was established in December 2001, but none of her ethics reports since then have disclosed that fact.
The foundation has enabled the Clintons to write off more than $5 million from their taxable personal income since 2001, while dispensing $1.25 million in charitable contributions over that period.
Clinton's spokesman said her failure to report the existence of the family foundation and the senator's position as an officer was an oversight.
Her office immediately amended her Senate ethics reports to add that information late yesterday after receiving inquiries from The Washington Post.
"The details of the Clintons' charitable family foundation and Senator Clinton's role in it have always been publicly available, but, in an oversight that leaders of both parties have made, it was inadvertently omitted from her Senate filing, which has been corrected," Hillary Clinton's press secretary, Philippe Reines, said yesterday.
Among the institutions receiving grants from the Clinton Family Foundation were Yale University, where both attended law school; groups named for deceased heads of state in Israel and Jordan; and a charity connected to the Arkansas businessman who helped Hillary Clinton make $100,000 on a commodities trade that stirred controversy a decade ago, Internal Revenue Service reports show.
Hillary Clinton's decision to amend her Senate disclosures comes after several other high-profile politicians came under scrutiny for omitting family foundations from their financial disclosure reports, including former Senate majority leader Bill Frist (R-Tenn.) and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.). They amended their disclosures, and neither was penalized.
Advisers to the Clintons said the family foundation amounted to only a fraction of their overall charitable efforts, which generate millions each year.
The charity is separate from the New York-based William J. Clinton Foundation, which has directed $10 billion in corporate money and resources toward slowing the global spread of AIDS, addressing climate change, and reducing hunger and poverty in developing countries.
The smaller family foundation lists as its address a post office box in Chappaqua, N.Y., where the Clintons live. Hillary Clinton is listed as secretary and treasurer, Bill Clinton as president and the couple's daughter, Chelsea, as a director. None takes any compensation.
The charity has been funded with money from lucrative book deals for both Clintons and from speechmaking by Bill Clinton since they left the White House in 2001. The foundation's tax filings are available on an Internet repository for IRS documents. The only time the Clintons mentioned the foundation on her ethics report was in 2002, in a footnote about their $800,000 donation that year, but it did not disclose as required her position or other information about the foundation.
In subsequent years, they made no mention of it.
Between 2001 and 2005, the Clintons seeded the charity with $5.16 million of their money. The foundation's 2006 tax form is not due until later this year.

Amazing that you still believe that old lie about the white house looting bear. It was Ballyhooed all over the place on Fox during the transition, and the story was later abandoned by Fox "News", even though they were the ones who tried to make it fly in the first place. It didn't happen. Do some reading.

Funny how the neocons keep blasting Democratic candidates but never seem to post anything good about their candidates.
I mean, even something simple like how Rudty Guiliani is such a strong supporter of marriage

And speaking of all their STEALING from the WH....brings to mind the image where bill and hillary were standing side by side....she had on a trench coat.
And as she opened each side....a whole bunch of sterling silver was all displayed there. LOL
Reminded me of one of the street vendors...who have watches to sell in the inside of their trench coats.
Don't think I'll EVER forget that image. It was PERFECTLY suited for old hillary.

I suppose you are still going to blame Bill for taking all the "DUBYAS" off all the computer keyboards before Bush took office.
That has go to be the biggest theft in the White House.
Absolute faith has been shown, consistently, to breed intolerance. And intolerance, history teaches us, again and again, begets violence.
---------------------------------- The duty of a patriot in this time and place is to ask questions, to demand answers, to understand where our nation is headed and why. If the answers you get do not suit you, or if they frighten you, or if they anger you, it is your duty as a patriot to dissent. Freedom does not begin with blind acceptance and with a flag. Freedom begins when you say 'No.'
